00:00Hello, just a quick word to tell you about Lost Aberystwyth, my latest book

00:04about local history in Aberystwyth, as there's a clue to the content and the

00:08title. It deals with some of the lost buildings, that's the King's Hall, the

00:12Drill Hall, the Town Clock, the barracks, things that we've lost over the years.

00:17Also some of the shops, and if you think how much Great Darket Street has

00:20changed in the last few years, we lost Woolworths, the Co-op, Post Office,

00:23Burtons, but it's also about the way of life, the way we've lost the pleasure

00:27boats, the way the lifeboat service has changed, how much transport has

00:31changed around Aberystwyth. Anyway, it's on sale now and I hope you'll enjoy the

00:36book. Thank you. Cheerio.
